- Introduced a new `sync` package for managing NIP-11 relay information and relay group configurations.
- Implemented a cache for NIP-11 documents, allowing retrieval of relay public keys and authoritative configurations.
- Enhanced the sync manager to update peer lists based on authoritative configurations from relay group events.
- Updated event handling to incorporate policy checks during event imports, ensuring compliance with relay rules.
- Refactored various components to utilize the new `sha256-simd` package for improved performance.
- Added comprehensive tests to validate the new synchronization and group management functionalities.
- Bumped version to v0.24.1 to reflect these changes.
- Introduced comprehensive benchmark tests for NIP-44 and NIP-4 encryption/decryption, including various message sizes and round-trip operations.
- Implemented optimizations to reduce memory allocations and CPU processing time in encryption functions, focusing on pre-allocating buffers and minimizing reallocations.
- Enhanced error handling in encryption and decryption processes to ensure robustness.
- Documented performance improvements in the new PERFORMANCE_REPORT.md file, highlighting significant reductions in execution time and memory usage.
- Modified the HandleMessage function to avoid logging actual message content and instead send generic error notices to clients for invalid or malformed messages, enhancing security by preventing exposure of binary data.
- Updated the NostrEscape function to escape all control characters to ensure valid JSON, preventing parsing errors with binary data.
- Adjusted policy checks to handle hex-encoded pubkeys correctly, ensuring compatibility with the updated encoding scheme.
- Introduced blackout period for relay connections after exceeding maximum reconnection delays, improving connection stability and management.
- Introduced a new `spider` package to manage connections to admin relays and synchronize events for followed pubkeys.
- Added configuration options for spider mode in the application settings, allowing for different operational modes (e.g., follows).
- Implemented callback mechanisms to dynamically retrieve admin relays and follow lists.
- Enhanced the main application to initialize and manage the spider, including starting and stopping its operation.
- Added tests to validate spider creation, callbacks, and operational behavior.
- Bumped version to v0.17.14.
- Removed `bufpool` usage throughout `tag`, `tags`, and `event` packages for memory efficiency.
- Replaced in-place buffer modifications with independent, deep-copied allocations to prevent unintended mutations.
- Added new `Clone` method for deep copying `event.E`.
- Ensured valid JSON emission for nil `Tags` in `event` marshaling.
- Introduced `cmd/stresstest` for relay stress-testing with detailed workload generation and query simulation.
Replaced legacy `*.orly` module imports with `next.orly.dev/pkg` paths across the codebase for consistency. Removed legacy `go.mod` files from sub-packages, consolidating dependency management. Added Dockerfiles and configurations for benchmarking environments.
